The Official CS Lancer Thread!

[Honda_Crew]

I've always love the diamonds but the performance can't compare to the Honda
engines. N/A. Evo well thats a different story. I wonder why Diamond never brought
in some of the faster mitsu's like the Ralliart thats the sheit...

Guys I want a spoiler for my CS2 car painting right now need asap...

[CS3A_GLX]

fellaz who own the GLX or Cedia Lancer. I jus got the Depo projector headlights but while trying to remove my OEM headlights i encountered a lil problem. The 3 screws at the front and top of the headlights were removed but when i look down by the park light on the left hand side headlight, i saw a long screw or clip hold the headlight in place. so which means that there are 4 points of securing it to the body! judging from that, i may have to remove the fender to unscrew that fastener.

Any1 else have a screw or removed their headlights? Link me a step by step approach nah! Thanks

[Honda_Crew]

^^^ Mines had three screws two at the top and one between the both headlights
no need to remove fender or bumper... There is a forth part that goes into a clip
but I just pulled and rocked it side to side and it came out...

And the nice part is you don't have to take out all the light bulbs when taking out the headlight it has a harness just unjack the jack and whala it all out...

[venum]

still have to change my headlight

[CS3A_GLX]

problem again. the harness on my original headlights has 3 outputs. Headlight (hi/low beam), Park light and turn signal. the new depo lights has the same 3 but the headlight has a seperate hi and low beam but only 1 connector socket and its not fitting onto my glx lancer. unless its intended for the cedia lancer!

[Honda_Crew]

Cedia has five you might have to modify the harness.

2 park lights
1 high beam
1 low beam
1 indicator

A question for the people with the OEM fogs.

When you press down the switch does it stay down or does it spring back up?

[turbo_beast369]

^^^spring back up..

[ZeroOne]

Interesting, cause the OEM switch will only work if it stays down in my car, when it springs back up the fogs turn off.

I think im missing a part.

[CS3A_GLX]

hmmm sounds like something is shorting or needs soldering! or u can replace the switch!
got me sum projectors over the wkend and still trying to adjust but cant figure out how...

there are 2 cork shaped knobs with philip head groves on them. they turn by use of hands but i see no difference when adjusted. do i have to use a screwdriver and turn the middle screw as opposed to the outer cork shaped thingy?

[A.W.O.L]

Interesting, cause the OEM switch will only work if it stays down in my car, when it springs back up the fogs turn off.

I think im missing a part.

No ur not...
the brain and some relays controlling it in the on position,the switch i have put down workin the same way...thats why i havent used it yet..

[ZeroOne]

Well it probably set up wrong?

It setup this way:

From the switch to the relay in the fuse box from the fusebox to the fogs. Im not too sure how it gets the power from the batt.

[CS3A_GLX]

^ lol there is a power tap in somewhere along the line that u can't see or is probably taped up bro!

[turbo_beast369]

thank god my fogs are original

CS3A_GLX to adjust mine, I got a 1/4" drive ratchet with a philip head adapter and turned it until u saw movement...all u need is a lil patience....I used a 1/4" ratchet becuz there is hardly any room to work with...did u park the car directly infront of a white or bright coloured wall?

[EVA Unit-01]

like we really need that headlight aiming lime now, boy...

[CS3A_GLX]

fuh reel fellaz. lewwe org a lil lime n maco each odda caz!

[turbo_beast369]

if so, do u have 2 shims behind each pad? (one axle side I talkin bout eh)

[noshownogo]

dead i eh maco enuf! my mech told me to adjust the cable, he had to do it from inside the car so he dismantled the handrest, flooring and seats! he thought it wus jus a lil underbody job but mitsu different!

but i must say, feels better on the road but dammit i got no ABS!

[turbo_beast369]

yeah d no ABS ting kidna scary if yuh hadda mash rel hard brakes...

I adjusted my handbrake cable from the hub itself...I heard when u adjust from inside, it stretches the cable...

[CS3A_GLX]

^^^ nah doh believe evrything yuh hear. and what happens if it stretches? he installed it from inside but adjusted it from the outside! so i guess i safe

[genghis]

ok guys i need ah AC compressor

i check bella buh he doh have any for my car. apparently AC compressor differs between Singapore and Japan vehicles.

i feel i guh have to make ah bamboo run.

[eekipoo]

ok so i have a few questions

1. CS3A_GLX did yo bring in your headlights yourself? if yes which site did you use?

2. I've seen you guys talking about "federal" they seem to be a good place to get parts judging from what you guys saying. What is the entire name for the company and where are they located? I want to buy my engine mounts and shocks there, do you all recommend i do this? it seems like i'm the only one who is unaware of exactly where and who "federal" is

3. i looking for a right side door for a L300 panel van is a TBM series cause i ent know what year do you all know where i could get one and do you all have an average price? thanks..

[turbo_beast369]

CS3A_GLX normally when something stretches, it snaps...simple...i rather be safe than sorry...handbrake cables for rear disc brakes for these cars is not sumting easy to get by itself...then again I have the OEM part numbers for them lol

I just did some re-search...the proper way to adjust the handbrake is to adjust from the hub first so that the shoes slightly grip the hub creating a slight resistance....then after adjust from the inside to eliminate whatever slack in the lever....somen ppl does only adjust from the inside and stretch the cable...

idle what places in d bamboo u gonna check...there is a place that sells singapore parts but i 4got d name...number is 645-2374...A.W.O.L and I went there already...

staggagoat I recommend you keep the thermostat, even tho ppl run without it....the engine would just run cooler than normal...but thas not always a good thing...

[staggagoat]

2nrs anybody ever take out the thermostat from their 4g18...does d car really need it...and what will happen if you remove it...

[genghis]

eekipoo ^^ Federal is in South, Branches in Marabella and San Fernando.
as to if this is the best place to get Mounts thaz debatable. i used to go Marud in Marabella, then they bun down.

[eekipoo]
